PROCESS OF TRANSFER OFINANEN'TA'I'INn Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented. Oct. 24, 1905.

Application filed June 29, 1905. Serial No. 267,617.

To @ZZ whom, t may concern:

Be it known that I, WILHELM WACHTER, a subject of the King of Saxony, and a resident of 8l Eisenbahnstrasse, Leipzig-Volkmarsdorf, in the Kingdom ofSaxony, German Empire, have invented a new and useful Process of Transfer Ornamentation, of which the following is an exact specification.

My invention relates to a process for ornamenting porcelain, stoneware, majolica-ware, bricks, metal sheets, 'and the like by means of transfer designs. I-Iitherto the decoration of such objects has been effected by means of the usual transfer designs and after the transfer'- glaze is applied tothe body, which is then burned and afterward dipped in the glaze and burned a second time. This process is, however, very troublesome and expensive. My new process overcomes all these inconveniences by applying the designs to the transfer-paper in such a way that the article to be decorated is only coated with glaze and then fired, whereupon the picture and the glaze are burned in one operation. y

The manipulation is as follows: Referring to the accompanying drawing, the paper cf, is first coated with a gummy mixture hereinafter described and consisting, preferably, of carbohydrate, and then the dry glaze c is applied and mixed with a vehicle-such as dextrin,varnish, mueilage of carrigeen-moss, or the like. The paper is then made smooth and printed with color containing the same mixture as the vehicle. The transfer-paper is now applied in the well-known manner to the article to be decorated or a metal which is then coated with glaze and burned. The picture (il appears under the glaze in one burning operation.

rIhe mixture serving as a vehicle for the colors and the glaze is a gummy solution of carbohydrate in water, to which fat may be added. Preferably vegetable mucilage and sugar are used and for the present purpose is particularly suitable mucllage of carrlgeenmoss (Irish mess) with or without the addition of the usual substances-as fat, dextrine, and the like. A good mixture is obtained in the following manner: A mucilage is produced consisting of two hundred grams carrigeen-moss in one hundred grams of water, and in this mueilag'e are then dissolved three hundred grams of burnt sugar.

I-Iaving thus fully described the nature of my invention, what I desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

l. The process for ornamenting porcelain, stoneware, majolica, bricks, metal sheets and the like by means of transfer designs under glaze, consisting in transferring the design onto the base from transfer-paper having the design printed upon a layer of glaze, whereupon the Object is coated with glaze and then burned, for the purpose as described.

2. The process of ornamenting porcelain or the like, consisting in first coating' the transfer-paper with a gummy solution of one or more carbohydrates, and then with a layer of glaze, then printing the design upon the layer of glaze, transferring the design to the article to be ornamented, then coating the transferred design with glaze and then burning the object.

3. The process of ornamentingI porcelain or the like, which consists in first coating the transfer-paper with a mixture comprising one hundred grams of water, two hundred grams of mucilage of carrigeen-moss and three hundred grams of burnt sugar, then applying a glaze to the paper, then printing' with suitable colors which are also ground with the said mixture, then transferring the design to the object to be ornamented, then applying a coating of glaze to the design and then burning, substantially as set forth.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two witnesses.
